Beautifully crafted poems.
dark emotional reflective tense fast-paced

Beautiful use of words, intuitive understanding, clear yet unseen. In absolute awe of this mastery of language, poetry like this pulls your heart in a very dreamy way. Imagine coming up with this : an animal standing on hind legs pretending to understand why it must die. My heart ♥️VICTORIA IN ILLIYIN.
“Our Victoria growing gills in paradise, arms outstretched
in joy, wading in rivers of warm milk, swimming with the lost
babies of Eden, back strokes in the streams of heaven.
Our Victoria, gently carried out of the water on the shoulders
of angels, tenderly placed on the upturned palm of God.
Blessings to our sweet Victoria, rewarded with 72 devoted mothers
who delicately dry her small body with wool softer than skin.”

"no one leaves home unless home is the mouth of a shark. you only run for the border when you see the whole city running as well. the boy you went to school with, who kissed you dizzy behind the old tin factory, is holding a gun bigger than his body. you only leave home when home won’t let you stay."
